SOAD are on hiatus now anyways. Ozzy? Definately not. Korn? DEFINATELY not. Marilyn Manson? Weirdly enough... I can see him at Coachella. Definately not as a headliner though. I cant really see him on the mainstage. I can see him closing the outdoor theatre. God would that ever be fucked up though...

I took my niece this year and it was her first Coachella. It was so fun to see it through her eyes. She thought it felt like a magical scene from Shreck. The one where all the fairy tale creatures meet for the first time in Shreck's swamp.

Jesus. That might keep some people from coming across the pond for Coachella I'd imagine. I saw Cassette Boy open for Squarepusher back in the day. Those guys are pretty fucking nuts. They wore Bush and Blair masks and pretended to butt-fuck each other with big inflated baseball bats. I liked it.

I saw MM this summer (always wanted to see him, but he's been on hiatus for a few years). I never thought of MM as a good fit until you put it into the above context (NIN, Tool, RATM, MM?).

BTW, the new MM CD is excellent... darker and more personal than the older stuff. Check it out.

Wishful Beginnings or Don't fake it baby...
It's that time of year when folk start speculating on just who might be playing at next year's festivals around the globe. This speculation has now taken the form of faked posters taking wild guesses at line-ups and festival dates.

Well, before you spy one of the above elsewhere and start selling your house and kids to finance your indulgences, I should point out that the posters are 100% fake.

I can't speak for any of the other proposed acts, but I can tell you that David Bowie is not performing at Coachella 2008.

In the event that he does decide to resume live work in the future, you'll hear about it here first...anything else is just rumours and lies, etc.

Damn. That really sucks. Another big load of bad news. First My Bloody Valentine is "still negotiating" (meaning holding out for more money"), then no Radiohead, and now no David Bowie? Hmm, how hard is it to get Glastonbury tickets?

But thanks for the scoop.

LOL @ the two obvious fakes actually being pictured.

Well, it's pure luck (and a good internet connection) ...
this year almost gave up after one hour of "server is busy" kind of messages
and pressing F5, trying differents browsers... you have to register first, sometime in Feb. i think ... but both times i tried i somehow managed to get through ...

Re: Bands who will not be at Coachella

Well, I'm fucked. Those are two things I haven't had in years.

It's pretty bad how all the high speed internet providers I've had over the past five years have all been slower than the one I had in 2000. It did go down far too often, though, one time for seven hours, which began 5 minutes before a Tool pre-sale.
